Details are still skechy, but the Smackdown/ECW crew had a gigantic scare a few hours ago while in Europe.
After the show last night in Frankfurt, Germany, they were on a Lufthansa flight headed to tonight's show in Zurich, Switzerland. When they were about to land, out of nowhere a plane popped up right in the line of the landing. The pilot saw the plane and managed to get the flight back inthe air at the very last moment.
They were then able to land safely. Even hours later, the crew was described as being "white as ghosts" as they got ready for today's show.

I'm glad everyone is ok, but I have to bring this up. I saw the headline on the Wrestling Observer website and thought, was it really a near miss? Sounds like a near hit to me.

As much as we've mocked Benoit, the potential loss of half the roster is no joke - this would have severely damaged WWE in a way steroids or Benoit never could. Thank God they're all alright.

As for someone who has been in plane that almost hit another one you have NO idea how scary something like that is! I tell ya the flight on was on from Chicago to New York was VERY quite after that!
LOL it reminds me of what Costanza said on Seinfeld when he was talking to a baseball player. With all the flying they do you would think one time a plane would crash with players on it.

I remember hearing guys liked to ride with Flair. The chances of someone being in a plane accident twice are astronomical.

There's a lesson to be learned from all of this.
NEVER give Funaki a laser pointer to play with on a plane.
But seriously, glad everyone's safe.

There's been a lot stories in the US news about these kinds of things happening more and more frequentinly. It's just a matter of time before there's a disaster.

It's a near hit!
When 2 planes nearly hit but don't hit, it's a near HIT!
A COLLISION is a near miss!!!
BOOM!
"Look, they nearly missed..."

...And to think Vince didnt tell the bookers to say "Half the roster killed" on WWE.COM, then an insane Vince would reveal himself alive and well and airing video footage of a bunker in Iraq forcing them all to play Russian Rollete wearing a headband.
If Benoit and Sharmel hadnt happened, that would have

Well both her and Booker seemingly vanished into the meaningless upper mid-card slots, there's barely a distinction..
